Another SUNPASS Love Story
SUNPASS ( SAME AS E-PASS, O-PASS OR LEEWAY) SUCKS!!!
I have a vehicle registered in my name but my fiance also drives the vehicle using a SUNPASS ( same as e-pass, o-pass or leeway) transponder which is in his name. The problem is the transponder was not deducting the tolls, there was a problem with it, and he uses it about 3-4 times a day. The surprise was, I received in my mailbox 12 separate tickets from Broward County and another 10 from Pam Beach County, a total of 22 citations or tickets. We did receive a few warnings along with actual traffic citations or tickets. We have been going back and forth to the SUNPASS ( same as e-pass, o-pass or leeway) Office. At present all the fees are paid up and nothing pending, but these tickets still remain on my driving record, when I checked on-line. Now I have to pay visits to Broward and Palm Beach County Traffic Divisions to straighten things out, which means plead “Not Guilty” in court. I have to take time out from work, pay court fees and still have to deal with the removal of those items. I think that SUNPASS ( same as e-pass, o-pass or leeway) should be able to straighten out those ticket issues with FDOT and not the motorist. When I went to the office the clerk said that this is happening very frequently, as a matter of fact the record was a woman with 92 citations or tickets. The person in line before me had 24 citations or tickets. I imagine this is causing a back load of work for state employees as well as irritated motorists. This is jeopardizing licenses records. Why is this system not working properly. Why is a system allowed to generate so many citations or tickets to one individual. Have you been familiar with this complaint from motorists? This is really upsetting. What can I do next? Please fix this system, if there is zero tolerance then the booths need to be functioning correctly as well as those transponders. If these citations or tickets are generated then it should not go on a motorist’s record, but first go to the SUNPASS ( same as e-pass, o-pass or leeway) office and cleared.
